Tax Day is one week away, and the state Department of Taxation and Finance is reminding New Yorkers to file their returns, even if they can't pay what they owe.
The agency says people who have to pay should reach out to them if they want to avoid or reduce penalties and added interest on their debt. One thing they can request is an Installment Payment Agreement which allows them to make monthly payments toward their unpaid tax balance. Anyone with questions can contact a tax department representative from 8:30 am until 4:30 pm Monday through Friday or visit tax.ny.gov.
